VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 31, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Metallic Minerals Corp. (TSX-V: MMG; US OTC: MMNGF) (“Metallic Minerals” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed a non-brokered private placement for aggregate proceeds of $1,540,377 through the issuance of 4,667,810 common shares on a flow-through basis (“FT Share”) at a price of $0.33 per FT Share (the “Private Placement”). The issue price of the Private Placement represents an approximate 10% premium to the five-day volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V”). Management and directors of the Company participated in the financing for $222,750 or 14.5% of the Private Placement.

Proceeds from the Private Placement are intended to be used toward eligible Canadian Exploration Expenses, within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada), at the Company’s Yukon exploration projects. 

Greg Johnson, CEO and Chairman, noted, “We are pleased to complete this flow-through private placement, which will be directed toward the ongoing exploration and development of our Keno Silver Project in the high-grade, historic Keno Hill Silver District of Canada’s Yukon Territory, as well as at our nearby McKay Hill Silver Project.” 

The Private Placement is subject to final TSX-V approval and the FT Shares are subject to a hold period of four months and one day from their date of issuance, under applicable Canadian securities law.

The FT Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons, absent registration or any applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws.

The Company has agreed to pay finders' fees totalling of $72,042 in cash or shares on a portion of the Private Placement and to issue 60,000 finder warrants. Each finder warrant is exercisable into one common share of the Company at a price of $0.37 per share for a period of 24 months from the date of closing. If, at any time after the closing date, the common shares on the TSX-V close above $0.60 for 10 consecutive trading days, the Company may provide written notice of acceleration of the expiry date of the finder warrants.

About the Keno Silver Project

Metallic Minerals holds a 166-square kilometer land position in the prolific Keno Hill Silver District; one of the world's highest-grade silver districts, with 300 million ounces of past production and current resources. Based on the shallow depth of production, recent major discoveries and highly-prospective geology, the district has potential to become one of the world's premier silver producing regions. Keno Hill has over 100 years of mining and exploration history, yet recent major discoveries demonstrate the excellent potential for delineation of new world-class deposits through systematic modern exploration along the known mineralized structural corridors. With 10 of these known mineralized trends traversing Metallic Minerals' holdings, the company is focused on identifying and rapidly advancing the most prospective targets toward resource definition.

Metallic Minerals’ 2018 exploration program, initiated in May, includes a drill-focused program to follow on the success of the inaugural program in 2017, which advanced three targets to the resource-delineation stage, six targets to drill-ready status and identified a number of earlier-stage priority targets for surface-based exploration. Drilling commenced in June on the advanced-stage exploration targets along with concurrent follow-up exploration work on the earlier-stage targets.
